Hi,
Getting ready for the 5.1 feature freeze, I think we should take some time
unifying the structure and API of the platform extras modules.
There has already been some private discussion on this topic, and this is an
attempt at reaching a final consensus. I think it's important that these
modules are as similar as possible.
API:
- Some classes and functions are named for Qt 4 compatbilty. These need to
stay as is.
* qt_mac_set_dock_menu(QMenu *)
- Classes: QPlatformFoo ("QMacNativeWidget", "QX11Info")
- Stand-alone function namespace:
* Qt::toPlatformType (“Qt::toWindowsHBITMAP”. “Qt::toMacCGImageRef”)
-OR-
* QPlatform::toType(“QWindows::toHBITMAP”, "QMac::toCGImageRef")
Structure:
- Filesystem structure:
- src/
- examples/
- tests/
- Public header naming:
* Cross-platform header: qplatformfoo.h ("qmacunifiedtoolbar.h")
* Platform-dependent header: qplatformfoo_platform.h ("qx11info_x11.h")
* Build a .so/dll/dylib/framework: "QtMacExtras.framework", "QtX11Extras.so"
* If Qt is built with widgets, then qplatformextras may depend on QtWidgets.
